it's so quiet

I get it now.


I get why people send their kids to school now. It is so quiet here. And in an hour it will still be quiet. And an hour after that? Quiet. I can breathe. I can take a long bath. I can clean the house and in a couple of hours it might still be clean, at least until 3:30. Wow.

This could be dangerous, like a drug is dangerous, you try it just once and then . . .

In my previous life (B.C. - before children), I was a college English teacher, specializing in composition and ESL composition.
